[1796] Ballistas don't allow changing class

    Categroy: KAG Client

    Operating System: Windows 10

    Build number: 1796

    Description:
    Sometimes, ballistas do not allow you to change class; pressing E while standing at a ballista does not cause the green arrow button to appear. This bug comes and goes, and it appears that when it happens for one ballista, it happens for all ballistas. Playing for a while and coming back to the ballista later seems to make it go away sometimes, but currently, half the time you can expect not to be able to switch classes.

    Steps to Reproduce:
    Make some ballistas, and play for a while. Eventually you'll encounter the bug when trying to switch class at one. I don't know the exact conditions that trigger it, but it is quite common.

    Note: This bug has been in the game for many builds before this one. There is frequent mention of ballistas "breaking."

    Kazaco: makmoud/norill say it is fixed

    This bug would easily be solved for most cases with limiting the spawned ballistas to a maximun of 1.

    Might this maybe be caused by the button being too high, and if you're low enough, then button doesn't appear?

    The bug usually occurs when two ballistas are placed too close to each other. My guess is that the button logic is being confused between the entities. Only in-game fix that I know of is to destroy one of the neighboring ballista.

    Can say that you are correct.

    I did a small test, two ballista's, I placed a ballista at the end of the path, And i placed one 7 blocks away, They both worked fine, Both buttons worked, Was able to change class, As here

    Like so, it works, But when i did it from 6 blocks away, They did not work, The switch class button did not work, and was unlivable, After i collapsed the bridge, And one of the ballista's broke, The other ballista worked.
